A marketplace is a catalogue you can install plugins from. The part that would supply the directory is an empty placeholder, so the feature always reports itself as unavailable. The new code includes:\n\n- a `pluginDirectory` source type\n\n- a `PluginDirectoryUnavailableError`\n\n- tidying of `github`, `url` and `git-subdir` plugin addresses\n\nThere is also a new check before a plugin is installed. It refuses with the message 'this build of Claude Code cannot verify' in two cases: when the plugin is record-bound, or when its ID looks like a scoped npm package name.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou cannot use this directory yet. The install check is the part that may affect you: a plugin whose ID looks like a scoped npm name will be refused with that message.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 5\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
